“If you are looking for an amazing and caring Petsitter-Ana is your go to person! She is super sweet and great at communication. She took care of my diabetic cat while I was at work. Always on time, always leaves detailed notes about the visit, always makes sure that pet(s) get attention and pets!”
“Bella was fantastic! We contacted her last minute because we needed help with giving medication to one of our kitties. She was able to come same day. We did a video call and I walked her through everything. We definitely will be using her again and if we loved the photos she sent of the kitties. It was clear that she loves animals.”
“Sarah took wonderful care of our cats- she sent detailed updates each day, and helped resolve a couple issues that popped up during the course of our booking (looking at you, automatic cat feeder)! I’d highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Claudia was amazing! Our cats recently lost their big sister Mocha and have been too afraid to socialize with the last few care takers, but they regained their confidence with Claudia. Every photo showed them happy and curious to hang out with their new friend. My wife and I agree, Claudia is our new go-to pet sitter for all upcoming trips.”
“Sarah did a great job. The cats were fed per schedule. She is clearly a cat person as one of the cats that never comes out when the strangers are in the house, came out to check her out. We are happy with her service and will schedule again.”
About: Trusted Veteran • Farm-Raised Animal Lover • Dependable Dog Walker Growing up on a farm in North Dakota gave me hands-on experience caring for animals from an early age. As a dog owner and lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. My military background strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to following instructions, ensuring every pet receives safe, dependable care. Whether it's an energetic walk, playtime, or providing companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I recently retired from the Army, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. I'm available on weekdays, evenings, and most weekends, allowing me to accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, and last-minute requests whenever possible. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and potty breaks. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. I will provide regular updates with photos, and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect as my own.
“Alexa is very responsive and took great care of my cats. She even got my super shy cat who NEVER warms up to people to not only come out of his hiding spot, but he also gave her head butts! 😊 Alexa was very respectful of my space as well, and took good care if my home. Will definitely be asking Alexa to watch my boys again!”
“Lenny is absolutely amazing! We just moved from overseas and I was worried my dogchild (he’s a senior) was going to have a problem bonding with a new sitter because he adored his last sitter. It’s safe to say he adores Lenny already and that’s such a relief. Lenny is such a great communicator and I love all the pictures taken daily. I couldn’t have picked a better person.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, and my whole family, including cousins, all have dogs! So it was natural that I finally would get a dog. I wanted to wait until I had the time and attention to do so. It was life changing when I got my lab, Baxter. I instantly fell in love! Not even two years later, I looked to rescue another dog. Daisy came along as a rehome and again, I had no idea how much more my love for dogs would grow. Baxter and Daisy loves other dogs. We have a huge yard that they truly enjoy and the neighborhood pups also love. I’ve watched other people’s dogs and have had other family members’ dogs for weeks at a time. Your pup(s) will have a great time with us! They will be treated as family! Currently I work from home and am available for daily long walks, but I do have a yard for those pets with less mobility. If there are any additional tasks needed for the care of the pet, I will ensure they receive it. I treat my pups as family, and would do the same for any pets I will watch. They will lots of love and pets. I try to learn their personality and make them feel at home as soon as possible, allowing them access to all parts of my home.
About: I currently work at a pet vaccination clinic, where I’m around dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and temperaments on a regular basis. This experience has taught me how to be comfortable and patient with all types of pets, from energetic pups/cats to shy or nervous and everything in between. I’ve also pet-sat for dogs and cats in the past and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care while you’re away. 💕 I’m available Monday through Friday and may also be available on some Saturdays and Sundays. Since I work weekends at my job, my weekend schedule can vary, and I may be home until around 7pm. Weekend availability and accommodations can be discussed to find what works best for you and what best fits my weekend schedule! 🐾 I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs of my own, and they truly mean the world to me. Before moving away from home, I actually had five dogs, so I’ve always been surrounded by lots of furry personalities, love, and companionship! When I am caring for your pets, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep up with their normal routines, provide fresh food and water, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they get all the love and care they deserve. 🐾💕 I know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies with someone else, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your pets a fun, loving experience! 🐶🐱✨
About: I’ve been around animals for over 10 years, from helping neighbors with their dogs to assisting with animal care at my college, which focuses on both plants and animals. Even though my apartment doesn’t have pets, I’ve spent years walking, feeding, and playing with dogs and cats of all kinds. I’m available most Tuesdays and flexible on other days before 9 AM and after 9 PM. I bring patience, consistency, and genuine affection to every furry friend I meet because for me, caring for animals isn’t just a hobby, it’s second nature and it's fun. I work Wednesday's through to Mondays every week and I am available every Monday evenings and all Tuesdays. I am also available anytime in the mornings up to 9:30 am and available every night after 9pm. My home is a peaceful, pet‑free space which is ideal for animals who need calm surroundings. I keep things clean, safe, and comfortable, with plenty of room for walks and play nearby. Having spent over 10 years around animals through my college and community, I understand how to create a secure, loving environment. Whether it’s early mornings or late evenings, I make sure every pet feels cared for, respected, and right at home.
“Lisa has been nothing but amazing! She has made being a first time puppy owner a thousand times easier. She provides a detailed update each day/visit that allows you to understand your dog’s needs more and to know how your dog is through out the day. Lisa is the best and recommend her to everyone!”
“Sweta has been wonderful with our pack! We have 4 large dogs so we booked Sweta for a few times while we were still home so she could get to know everyone’s personalities. All our dogs loved her immediately and quickly warmed up to her!! She has been a great communicator, timely, and loving to our pups. Highly recommend.”

Lenny is great! She is my go to sitter for cats/dogs (5 total) every time we are out of town. This time it was just 2 cats as we took dogs with us but she did everything according to instructions and even went above and beyond when asked to water plants outside. Always, can rely on her for my animals to be well taken care off!
Leah was so incredibly kind to Ari and Sundance and we were so grateful for her help while we had an out of town trip. She was loving to them, very communicative, and even went out of the way to make sure that one of our pups didn’t jump around too much after eating his meal after I mentioned how we try to keep him settled. Her attentiveness to detail was so much appreciated!
I had a wonderful experience with McKenna! I was away traveling, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pets were being well cared for. She was dependable, attentive, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. It was clear that my pets were comfortable and well taken care of while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. I will absolutely request her service again!
Alyssa is just the absolute best. It is such a wonderful peace of mind when we’re out of town to know our two fur babies are in such wonderful hands. Alyssa has watched our tabbies every time we have been out of town and I can’t recommend her highly enough!
Claudia was amazing! Our cats recently lost their big sister Mocha and have been too afraid to socialize with the last few care takers, but they regained their confidence with Claudia. Every photo showed them happy and curious to hang out with their new friend. My wife and I agree, Claudia is our new go-to pet sitter for all upcoming trips.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. One of our senior dogs is very anxious when we travel and has always struggled with boarding, often refusing to eat. Having him stay at home in his familiar environment with check ins with Macy made a huge difference! He was relaxed, happy, and eating well. We felt completely at ease while away and are so grateful for the care she provided.
This was my first time using Rover services, and I'd been anxious about it--a stranger in my house, looking after my pets? But I got a great feeling from Lisa the moment I met her, and she did a great job checking in on our dog while we were out for the day. She's communicative, compassionate, trustworthy, and responsible, and I'm so grateful we've connected!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Woodlawn stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodlawn. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
